wow, so I guess I'm gonna keep giving it mobile 1. Another question is how often to change it. I do it every 3k (cuz I drive it pretty hard)

I use castro GTX now. I just switch from mobile one after many mechanics calling mobile one junk. Their was recently a independent test that also proved other oils better then mobile one.

Mobil 1 0w-40 exceeds performance standards and is recommended by Audi. So I doubt that these mechanics know more about oil than the car manufacturer. In any case, mobil 1 is not "junk" and will work fine. Of course there are better oils out there, especially if you are willing to pay for them. Check out this link for a different indepepndent test:
